I'm also doing a special for Comedy Central called Autobiography. It's going to be a spoof of Biography.

I like inventing things when I write rather than autobiography.

I would say I try to make my comedy really personal. I try to tell stories that happened to me, experiences from my life.

I've always had an abundance of material about the subjects of my biographies.

My humor is channeling everything through my brain. For example, when I talk about something, it's how Richard Lewis feels about it. I'm a storyteller. I do a lot of free association.

I'm a novelist first, and I wrote a bunch of books, and everything I write, I just find people are more interesting when there's an element of humor to it.

I like to always have humour in whatever I do.

While I would agree that I write about serious subjects, and that they're not necessarily the most pleasant subjects or even the most pleasant people, as a writer I just think about the humorous aspects of these things - that's what keeps me going when I'm writing a story.

I consider myself to be first and foremost a comic writer. The way I entertain myself - especially in those long and grim hours in the office - is to write stuff I find funny.
